the architecture of Cassandra does provide many great features, it comes at a cost of high I/O requirements. PerfAccel software provides an active data movement technology that moves IOPS to the server, lowering latency and increasing I/O throughput.

With PerfAccel, storage can as fast as if it is local to the application server. Locally cached Solid State Devices offer low latency with high throughput characteristics. PerfAccel uses SSDs to intelligently cache only the most active data.

NoSQL databases are particularly prone to be affected by the performance cliff, which occurs when the working set of the application exceeds the system RAM. PerfAccel accelerates NoSQL databases that need performant secondary storage, by using deep operational intelligence about their storage behavior to cache HOT DATA.
